ABSTRACT:
A die set having first and second dies is provided with first and second handles for carrying the die set. The first and second handles are each pivotally connected to the second die by a pin. First and second latches maintains the first and second handles at a carry position and from inadvertent pivotal movement. Each latch is releasable to permit axial movement of the handles relative to the pins and thus free the first and second handles for pivotal movement to a position at which the handles are free from interfering with connection to a ram of a press. A support is provided for maintaining the first die at a preselected position relative to the second die and from inadvertent movement relative to the second die. A lever enables rocking of the first die relative to the second so that connection to the ram of the press is easily achieved.
